| Ohm | — | The ohm reading in the system is either too high or too low. | Ohm reading between i+ and i- anywhere on the RSBus with supply power off should be between 70 and 90 ohms. If above 90 ohms, check and repair wiring, splices or other wiring defects that may be causing the excessive resistance. If less than 70 ohms, check for shorted wires. |
